Our 20 month old

I have the most fun, yet the most frustrating days with James, now 20 months old. He is just a little stinker, learning ways to test his mommy and daddy. Every day, right when he wakes up, he throws a few basketballs in his basketball goal that's in his room, then heads straight for the garage door and says, "outside?". He throws a huge fit every morning when mommy doesn't want to play outside when it's only 6:00 am. He could spend the entire day outside no matter what the weather looks like. I am so thankful for warmer weather this week, so I can actually enjoy being outside with him. James really is a full-fledged toddler now. He sleeps in his big boy bed in his new room (which I will post more about later), he is getting much better at eating with a spoon and fork, he runs quite fast, can actually jump now, and is talking up a storm (even though half the time we can't tell what he is saying). He is VERY independent right now and doesn't want his mommy or daddy helping him with anything :)

Our little stinker

James finally has started giving us more hugs....

and kisses :)

Still loves going out for a stroll with mommy or daddy

(Katie, thanks for those gloves!!!)

James can stand on a stool and watch himself brush his teeth

(although I think he is just really playing with the water and drinking water from his toothbrush...not sure how clean those teeth are actually getting)

Such a big boy :)
